Myth Beyond Heaven

“Who’s your family? Don’t be ridiculous!” Nantian Fengyu glared at Nantian Xuanyu angrily.

“Alas, can’t you forgive me once? It’s been several years now.” Nantian Xuanyu looked at her angry daughter with a trace of regret.

“No! I will never forget what you did on that day.” Nantian Fengyu’s face turned cold. Her eyes were full of killing intent, causing Yun Lintian to startle for a moment. This was the first time he saw her furious to this extent… What kind of grudge did she hold against her mother?

Nantian Xuanyu sighed and didn’t say anything about this further. She turned to Yun Lintian and said. “I won’t hide anything from you. I came here today to ask you for help. I need your Tree of Life’s power to save someone.”

“Tree of Life?” Nantian Fengyu frowned. She looked at Yun Lintian in doubt.

Yun Lintian’s brows raised slightly. He wasn’t surprised about Nantian Xuanyu’s terrifying information-gathering ability. He asked calmly. “I wonder who this person is?”

“In fact, this person cannot be called a person. She is the Divine Phoenix Mother Tree.” Nantian Xuanyu’s expression was heavy as she mentioned this.

“Divine Phoenix Mother Tree? Sure enough. I have been wondering for all this time about the Divine Phoenix bloodline. It turns out to be Divine Phoenix Mother Tree.” Hongyue’s voice resounded in Yun Lintian, appearing to be talking to herself.

“What is the Divine Phoenix Mother Tree, Palace Master?” Yun Lintian asked curiously.

“You can call me by my name directly. I don’t mind.” Nantian Xuanyu said gently. Her crimson eyes seemed to penetrate Yun Lintian’s soul as she continued. “Similar to the White Tiger God and the Vermilion Bird bloodlines in your body, the Divine Phoenix Mother Tree can be considered an original source of the Divine Phoenix bloodline.”

“Thousands of years ago, our First Ancestor, the founder of the Divine Phoenix Palace, was fortunate enough to discover the Divine Phoenix Mother Tree. For some reason, her body and soul had resonated with the mother tree. It was as though the mother tree chose her to inherit the Divine Phoenix bloodline.”

Nantian Xuanyu said with a serious expression. “As time passed, the Divine Phoenix Mother Tree becomes weaker….” 𝐨𝘃𝗹.

Before she could finish her sentence, Nantian Fengyu interrupted with a cold voice. “Because of that, you didn’t hesitate to sacrifice all of my sisters in order to continue the life of the tree. Heh.”

Nantian Xuanyu went silent immediately. However, her eyes found no trace of guilt when she heard this. She believed what she did back then was the right thing. After all, the fall of the Divine Phoenix Mother Tree meant the same as the Divine Phoenix Palace.

Yun Lintian was shocked inwardly. He recalled the piece of information about the Divine Phoenix Palace. It was said to have many candidates in each generation. At the end of the trial, only one could become the True Inheritor. As for the rest, they would become the generation guardians.

Yun Lintian turned to look at Nantian Fengyu and seemed to understand everything. The reason she left the palace must be related to this. At the same time, he could understand Nantian Xuanyu’s decision. In order to let the Divine Phoenix Palace survive further, she had to do this decisively.

Nantian Fengyu looked at Yun Lintian and said. “Junior Brother, I know you are kind, but you don’t have to do this. It’s better to let the Divine Phoenix Palace disappear from this world.”

Nantian Xuanyu remained silent. She had no ability to control Yun Lintian’s decision. It was even more impossible to use force, as she was aware of his abnormal battle prowess.

Yun Lintian fell into deep thoughts. According to the commonsense, he should listen to Nantian Fengyu. After all, his relationship with the Divine Phoenix Place was shallow.

However, Yun Lintian might need them to fight with Poison Valley in the near future. The existence of the Divine Phoenix Palace would benefit him in various ways. He was in a dilemma now.

“This woman simply uses a faint bloodline in those sacrifice lambs to extend the mother tree’s life. The more, the better… Think about it. What would happen in the near future when there are no longer enough sacrifice lambs?” Hongyue calmly said.

It was as though the sky had opened. Yun Lintian immediately realized the crux in Hongyue’s words. If that was the case, no doubt about it, Nantian Xuanyu would sacrifice herself, as well as his Fifth Sister, who possessed the purest bloodline.

Thinking of this, Yun Lintian didn’t hesitate anymore. He raised his head to look straight into Nantian Xuanyu’s eyes and said solemnly. “I agree with your request.”

Nantian Xuanyu’s eyes widened open in disbelief. “You… Really?” She completely lost her elegant demeanor at the moment.

Meanwhile, Nantian Fengyu looked at Yun Lintian silently. She didn’t understand why Yun Lintian made this decision, but she didn’t stop him either.

Yun Lintian nodded. “Yes, Senior. However, I am not doing this for you or your Divine Phoenix Palace. I made this decision because of her.” As he spoke this, he turned to Nantian Fengyu.

“Because of….me?” Nantian Fengyu was startled.

Yun Lintian took a deep breath and said calmly. “Fifth Sister, you possess the purest bloodline among everyone in the palace. Maybe even in the entire history. Since the mother tree is the lifeline of the palace. I’m afraid you would have to sacrifice yourself in the future in order to extend its life…. I don’t want to see that.”

Nantian Fengyu was stunned for a long time. She was naturally aware of this point, but she didn’t expect Yun Lintian to figure it out so quickly… In fact, it was Hongyue who gave him a hint.

Nantian Xuanyu suddenly stood up and bowed ninety degrees at Yun Lintian. “On behalf of the Divine Phoenix Palace, please accept my deepest gratitude.”

Yun Lintian hurriedly used his profound energy to help Nantian Xuanyu up. “Please don’t do this, Senior. As I said before, I am doing this for my Fifth Sister. You don’t have to be like this. Besides, I cannot guarantee whether I can help it.”

Nantian Xuanyu shook her head. “Although I don’t know what the result is, the Divine Phoenix Palace will stand by your side no matter what from now on. You’ve my words.”
